BNP slams BSWML single-vendor system for bulk waste generators

The Bengaluru NavaNirmana Party (BNP) has opposed Bengaluru Solid Waste Management Limited’s (BSWML) single-vendor system for bulk waste generators. The party alleges that this system creates a monopoly in the five city corporations, leaving apartment associations with little choice over service providers and charges. BNP questioned the implementation of BSWML’s prescribed charge of Rs 12 per kg, stating that vendors were treating it as a fixed rate rather than a ceiling.
